Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc and Tata Communications have announced a partnership agreement as part of an ambitious plan to roll out public Telepresence rooms worldwide.
The agreement will significantly increase Tata Communications’ network of public Cisco TelePresence rooms with 10 new facilities opening in Starwood hotels by the end of 2009. The first telepresence suites are planned for Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers, Sheraton on the Park in Sydney , Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, The Westin Los Angeles Airport and W Chicago-City Center. Looking ahead, Starwood anticipates expanding the offering to hotels in key international business markets like Brussels, Paris , Hong Kong , Singapore and Tokyo . Tata Communications Telepresence Service will provide Starwood and its guests an “in person” meeting experience with participants in rooms around the world.
Cisco TelePresence provides life-like, high definition, conferencing facilities with superior audio, video and environmental qualities allowing participants to meet their colleagues, customers and business partners across a virtual table. The public facility offers users who do not have Telepresence rooms in their companies, access the technology at a per hour rental rate.
Tata Communications has several operational public rooms in India (Mumbai, Bangalore (x2), Chennai, Hyderabad , Delhi and Gurgaon), UK ( London ) and USA ( Boston ), and has recently announced an agreement to manage a public room in Manila for PLDT in the Philippines .
